Today was supposed to be the most important birthday of my life, my 18th. I was going to celebrate being officially an adult (on paper, that is. I don’t think I’ll ever grow up). I had invited 15 people and 8 of them called they couldn’t come because they had to go to a funeral. AGAIN. Every time I’m going to celebrate my birthday, someone seems to die. If not, there still is something more important then me, like an unforgettable concert of a band I don’t know or a party given by someone who is slightly (or a lot) cooler then me.
Well, there still would be 7 people, never mind most of them where from the same household, so no reason to cancel the “party”. Well, I waited… and waited… and waited…. And almost an hour late the first two came. It’s not that it’s about presents for me, since I don’t lack anything so I won’t nag, but well, there was this poor excuse and I was already feeling kind of miserable because nobody came. Alright, I accepted their excuse though it was clearly made up on the way to my place and I decided that I shouldn’t lose hope. So I waited and waited and waited again, while I listened to sad stories about those guy I didn’t even know that died. Great, my birthday was celebrated like that funeral where all my guests had ran to.
In the mean time, no new guests came. Apparently, they wouldn’t come either but where too lazy or too ashamed to give me a ring. Or they just forgot, I don’t care, they weren’t there without a valid reason. Now I’m being slightly tipsy, sick from eating birthday cake all myself and tired as hell. The party that was supposed to be the best one of my life turned out to be, well, all you can read above. A big sarcastic great.
